Cheese & Pirates
What do cheese and pirates have in common? Both are salty! Okay, maybe that’s not a very good joke. Sue me! I don’t know why cheese and pockets and pirates became so important to The Mangrove Legacy but as I go through the line edits for the new edition (yes, I know it was edited…

Six Sentence Sunday: The Mangrove Legacy
I nearly forgot about the Six Sentence Sunday meme: perish the thought. I have since discovered that there is also a Tuesday Serial meme, so I have to also remember to add Airships & Alchemy to that. As usual, be sure to drop by and see all the other six sentences — it’s a great…
Authors After Dark
There’s a wonderful exchange near the beginning of Clare Boothe Luce’s The Women (1939) that I’ve always enjoyed although it kind of stabs me in the heart, too.
